The honest answer: yes, but not with the standard contract you accept at the self-service checkout. Anyone bound by medical confidentiality or another professional-secrecy duty under § 203 of the German Criminal Code (StGB) needs more than a data processing agreement. And that &ldquo;more&rdquo; looks completely different at Microsoft, AWS and Google.</p>
